Love this place! So so so yummy! 🙂
The girls and I needed a change to our typical Tuesday night girl's night, therefore we decided to take advantage of Modern Plate's Girl's night special. Typically a $35 3-small plate meal, turned into appetizers, drinks and the girl's night special. Our waitress, Amber, was really attentive, friendly, and made our experience all that much better. Looking forward to our next visit to Modern Plate.
Response from the owner:Vanessa, thank you so much for sharing this! We love that you switched things up for your Tuesday girls’ night with us, that’s exactly what our Girls Night special is all about. We’re so glad you enjoyed the food (great picks with the Bacon Wrapped Dates and Crispy Calamari!) and that Amber made your night even better with her attentive and friendly service. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her. Can’t wait to have you and the girls back for another night out soon! 💕🍸
Wonderful place, amazing music! One of the first experiences I've had at a "Modern American" restaurant where I didn't feel ripped off. The drinks were delicious and strong, the food was reasonably priced and delicious!! Better Cuban sandwhich than the one I had in Miami. Kristina and manager Jason took great care of us. WILL RETURN!
Response from the owner:Zach, thank you so much for the awesome review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience, from the food and drinks to the music and overall vibe. That Cuban sandwich compliment means a lot 🔥 and we’re glad everything felt both delicious and worth it. Kristina and Jason will really appreciate the shoutout, they always go above and beyond to take care of our guests. We truly appreciate your support and can’t wait to have you back at Modern Plate again soon!
A consistently fantastic experience at Modern Plate

Modern Plate never disappoints. The food is always delicious, creative, and clearly made with high‑quality ingredients. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted, and the prices are more than fair for the level of care and flavor they deliver.

On my recent visit, the bar team Iwona and Amanda were outstanding. Even on a busy night with a high volume of orders, they stayed attentive, friendly, and incredibly efficient. The drinks were made well, balanced, and consistent, and you could see how hard they were working to keep everything flowing smoothly.

Great food, great service, and great people. Modern Plate continues to be one of the best dining experiences around.

From the time we arrived for brunch until we left, it was a great dining experience. Food was very good and reasonable for a price perspective. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back and would add it to the list of brunch spots to try in Elmhurst.
